Awesome!!

Congratulations Hebert!! Way to go!!

Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes! I would have responded sooner but I've been out of the country on a European adventure that has had me off the grid for a few weeks. So it was quite an epic birthday... Plus I was awarded an upgrade to Captain at Skywest... I will soon be flying the ERJ175 f...

Thanks Mike!!

Excellent Mike...thanks very much. Ilan's familiar with the manual edit option and that will be fine til there's time to get it fixed. Thanks again for the quick work.

Technical guru's. I'm not familiar with this program but Ilan Maor uses it for all his flights.

It was a completely safe choice but one that was made understanding the additional risk after both the Captain and I agreed it was the best option. Everything i...

The reality is that each year there are more safely conducted flights (commercial, military or GA) than the year before....this is the direct ...

Have a fantastic day Wayne!

I remember that. It was back in my first life in AAV. As I recall it was all DC-3 or something like that, and we started in California and worked our way East. I think I made it unit l Louisiana or so before I drifted away. I seem to remember Mr. Reince and Mr. Gemelli....who else? Yes, we used the...

I have some questions on run time for the deicing system Greg. Is that something you would turn on once tha APU is running or after engine start? Does it depend on the aircraft?
